They really need to nail something down They need to nail something when it's good enough, not rush and settle on something that isn't good. | ||

(i.e. do the top 16 in WCS points still goto the WCS Global Finals?) Korea runs entirely independent of whatever the unified WCS does. | ||

I mean Europe, Africa and the middle east are put together because I guess the players on these regions tend to play on EU anyways. But why seperating North America and Latin America and what about South America aren't they also playing on the same server? Likewise, why seperating Taiwan and SEA (in fact, I would also merge China into that region even though they have dedicated servers)? | ||

THIS IS A DISASTER So basically instead of 1 korean league and 2 global leagues, we have 1 global league and 2 korean leagues... I thought the rework was supposed to improve things for foreigners -.- | ||

How many more years do you think they have to kick ideas around? WCS works. It is already "good enough." Sure improvements can be made, like the region locking. But these changes are more than improvements, it's a complete overhaul. This game is not in a stage where we can say "Well by 2018 the system will be amazing." | ||

This game is not in a stage where we can say "Well by 2018 the system will be amazing." I see this as a clear improvement and I have no idea why you would argue against a clear improvement. It sucks that they didn't do this from the beginning, but not sure what the point is of repeating that over and over. | ||

"The format will be successful viewership wise but it's taking so much money away from supporting EU and NA players. Maybe they'll rework the prize distribution for challenger league? I know some NA LoL teams were interested in sc2 when the Koreans being pushed out was announced but now the way it will work I think their interest is gonna fade away once again." | ||
